An exciting milestone for the project

On Monday 11 May we took delivery of our first hardwood sleepers — the first physical materials for the extension into town. It’s incredibly exciting to see something so tangible arrive and to know it marks real progress towards the day trains return to Bala.

This moment wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our donors and supporters, and we’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us reach this point. If you’d like to continue supporting the project and help keep things moving forward, donations can be made via our website.

  • Such a friendly railway that has the local and wider community at heart. Julian, Liz, Rob and all the people we met could not have been more enthusiastic and welcoming. A very worthy project.
